Interventions that we offer vary according to the outcome of assessment, and will be tailor-made to the requirements of individuals and families to ensure the best care and support.
We firstly recommend a specifically tailored 3 session post-diagnostic package to individuals, and to parents of children with ASD which includes the following:
Session 1: Understanding the Diagnosis
Session 2: How does ASD affect you or your child – understanding and analysing behaviour
Session 3: Support at home and school/college
For adults
Our post-diagnostic sessions are based around your own needs, but as a framework we include:
Session 1: Understanding the Diagnosis
Session 2: Understanding Stress in Relation to Areas of Difficulty
Session 3: Tailor made to individual need but can include:
- Developing an Emotional Toolbox
- Stress Relieving Strategies
- Creation of an Autism Passport/provision of letters to employers or organisations
After each session you will be emailed with a write up summary of the session and copies of handouts discussed.
In addition any or all of the following can be offered:
- Speech and Language Therapy
- Occupational Therapy – Sensory Processing
- Specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Wider help is also available:
- Liaison with work/school/nursery
- Opportunities to participate in behaviour and/or communication groups
Individual support and advice for:
- Anxiety difficulties
- Behavioural difficulties including aggression
- Sleep issues
- Continence/toileting
- Relationship issues
We can also sign-post to other services if appropriate.
If a diagnosis is not indicated, we will explain in detail our conclusion and plan, in partnership with individuals and families, what intervention is suitable and evidence-based.
We are all senior clinicians who are very experienced in working with adults, children and young people with a wide range of difficulties, so we can then either offer intervention ourselves, or can refer on to other agencies as appropriate.
